check path to see if there is any directory php

Question

How to check if in directory "713" there is any directory (not files)? it has to be smart enough to ignore file existance

    ...
    ...

    $workRecordFullPath = "/var/www/websites/AM_dev/app/webroot/files/submissions/57601/4189/713/";

    // check if folder "713" exists     
    if (file_exists($workRecordFullPath)) {
    // check if into 713 there is any directory
        if (!is_dir($workRecordFullPath)) {
            return true;
        }
    } 
    return false;

If you want to check if it is a directory and it exists, then use `if (is_dir(...)) { return true; }` — scrowler, Apr 14 '15 at 20:35
I don't have name to check directory. I just want to check if there is any directory — Fury, Apr 14 '15 at 20:37

Please use appropriate tags, this has nothing to do with CakePHP at all, I've corrected your tags. — floriank, Apr 14 '15 at 22:45

    ...

    $workRecordFullPath = "/var/www/websites/AM_dev/app/webroot/files/submissions/57601/4189/713/";
    // get all directories in "713"
    $submissionWorkRecordFullPath = glob($workRecordFullPath . '*' , GLOB_ONLYDIR);

    // check if folder "713" exists     
    if (file_exists($workRecordFullPath)) {
    // check if into 713 there is any directory
        if (!empty($submissionWorkRecordFullPath)) {
            return true;
        }
    } 
    return false;

The other solution will be counting slashes "/"

  $oldQc = 12; // The deep number of folders to wrok_record_id

  $objects = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
              new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($workRecordFullPath),
              RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST
  );

  foreach($objects as $name => $object){

        // Name of all flies and directories
        $countSlashes = substr_count($name,'/');

        if ($countSlashes>$oldQc) {
            return false;
        }
  }

  return true;
